Gnr. Sidney Dalton MiD.. British Army 231st Bty. 67th (Suffolk) Medium Regiment Royal Artillery from 28 Morris St, Oldham Sidney Dalton was called up in 1942, enlisting at Saighton on 19th November. He was a Gunner in the Royal Artillery, and qualified as a Driver on 20th February 1943, then classified Signaller on 20th May 1943 (17 Squad).
His unit, 231st Medium Battery, landed at Arromanches on 29th June 1944, and was soon in action. On 11th July at La Biyude, nicknamed Happy Valley, they had their first casualty when Gunner Cyril Pardy was killed. After various actions in Normandy, they worked their way up through Europe. On 5th October they were in Eindhoven, and a couple of days later they were in Nijmegen, in liaison with an American battery.
He was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the Oak Leaf "...for devotion to duty under fire by keeping his radio set in operation and thus helping materially to keep artillery in action at a vital period."
After hostilities ceased, the men became part of the British Army of the Rhine and were housed in the Rhine Army College billets in Goettingen and Hamburg. Among the recreations he did at this time were going on a photography course, and canoeing on the Mohne dam reservoir He was demobilised on 22nd August 1947 from B Troop, 25/26 Battery, 7th Medium Regiment, Royal Artillery.

Christopher Thomas "Christy" Daly . British Army 2nd Battalion Royal Inniskilling and Royal Irish Fusiliers Christopher Thomas Daly, my father, was born in County of Offaly, Ireland in 1914. He joined the Royal Inniskilling Royal Irish Fusiliers at Armagh on 11/11/1937 and was at home till 28/4/1938. He was in Malta from 29/4/38 till 8/10/38. He was in Palestine from 9/10/38 to 29/3/39. He went back to Malta where he stayed from 30/3/39 to18/6/43. He was then sent to the Middle East from 19/6/43 to the 15/11/43 where he was sent to Germany and stayed as a prisoner of war till 24/5/45 then he went home on 25/5/45 and was discharged on 4/3/46. This information I have taken from my father's war records which I am fortunate to have. My father never talked about his past. He passed away on the 13/4/1973 in Australia where he immigrated to with his Maltese wife Carmela (Debattista) in 1961 and had 12 children of which I am one. I would love to hear from anyone who may have a similar story that connects with my fathers.

L/Bdr Edward Joseph Daly . British Army Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers from Glasgow My father, Edward Joseph Daly, served, I think, with REME, in 1945. He was at Nijmegan at the beginning of March 1945, was near Brussels until about mid March, moved to Vilvoorde 18th March, then onto Weeze, on 23rd and then Honnepel. He crossed Rhine on 30th March North of Rees, waiting to go into action on the 1st April and was on recce near Bremen on 3rd April. From this point on it seemed to be some heavy action until about 20th April. He went to Wildenshausen and then Delmemhorst and on to Osterholz and Otterberg. At the begining of May he was at Breddorf and then Wilstedt and somehow ended up in Norway, talking about going to Denmark and back to Germany.
I took this information from a very small diary, I was given after my father died in 1996. He never really spoke about the War, I have seen photographs of him in Nijmegan and I remember I overheard him speaking to a friend about Belsen and how they were not allowed to give food to anyone, in fear in might kill them.
My father talked about army buddies Fitzs and Wynn, I think that Fittz is John Fitzimons from Edinburgh, I am not sure who Wynn is. There is a name and address, Mr and Mrs Walpole 19 Powell Street, Clayton, possibly Manchester, he may have been billeted there. I would like to know a bit more about the Regiment, he was with and if anybody knows anything please contact me.

WO. Joseph Egbert Daly . British Army Royal Army Medical Corps Joseph Daly served with the RAMC at the Burma front.
He was working in the British General Hospital in Singapore, during WW2.
He was wounded in action from machine-gun bullets from a Japanese fighter plane strafing the front lines. The only thing that was recovered from his kit was the Holy Bible. This was found later by the Captain of his regiment.
He and 21 of his mates were stranded and were told to report at Calcutta India. 21 of them set out and walked through the jungles. They had to fend for themselves.
Joseph reported that there were many soldiers lying dead, their pockets full of money and valuables. This was no use to them. They reported the existence of dead soldiers to the village heads, as they passed through on the way to Calcutta with little or no food. Only 7 of them made it to Calcutta.
A few years later he was discharged on medical grounds.
Later he became a compounder in civilian life, married and had 8 children.
He passed into the next realm at the age of 40.
May his soul rest in peace.

Flt.Sgt. Morris James "Rastus" Daly . Royal Australian Air Force pilot 86 Squadron from Dalby, Queensland, Australia (d.27th May 1942)  Flt Sgt M J Daly, pilots course graduation photograph
I am looking for further information about a tragic accident at Wick Aerodrome in May 1942. My Uncle, Flt Sgt (Pilot) Morris James Daly, Pilot of Beaufort AW345 BX-A with 86 Sqn, was returning home from a patrol I believe near Norway. In his pilots log, the mission was listed as 'Rover Opps' which I still would like to know the meaning of. On the 27th of May 1942, the weather apparently bad and on approach to Wick Aerodrome, AW345 struck the unlit Tannach Chain Home Radar Station tower south west of the aerodrome. All on board were killed.
- F/Sgt M J Daly RAAF
- F/Sgt R Dunn
- Sgt H J Stone
- Sgt F G White
The Chain Home Radar Station I believe was part of the coastal radar defence system linking up many towers for a full coastal observation and early warning system. I understand they were 225 feet in height. RAF 86 Sqn was based at Wick and Skitten, Caithness from 9th Mar 1942 to 31st July 1942 mainly patroling the Norwegian Coast.
Flt Sgt Daly's log reports only 10 days earlier on 17th May 1942 he and his crew flew on 'Strike Opps' Beaufort AW341 from their base in Wick to Skitten, then on to Norway. A strike (I presume torpedo) on the "Eugen" (I presume the 'Prinz Eugen', sister ship to the 'Bismark' breaking out of a Norwegian Fjiord making for the Atlantic). Me 109 attack, Lost 4, Got 6 Me, Badly shot up. A short passage, however, a chilling read.

On the news of his younger brothers death, my Father, William Daly enlisted and flew as a F/Lt (Navigator) on Avro Lancasters with Bomber Command.
